Who originally said the bit you paraphrased?

“Each family becomes a civilization in miniature, and watching that unfold is the best.”

Thanks for promoting parenthood. I have recently been around some middle aged people who are belatedly realizing that they may have been happier, and less lonely, if they spent more time building a family instead of “living their best lives.” Additionally, having a family gives you more respect for your parents and grandparents. I love it when my parents hear about things my kids are doing and just smile. I then remember things I did that were even more challenging for them. Attempting to be a caring parent and son is a humbling experience that is healthy for everyone.

I have Linux Mint installed on a Dell laptop (formerly a Windows 10 machine). <happy thumbs up>

I used to run Linux some years ago (Slackware, old school), but I've been on OS X/MacOS for a while now. Works well for my use cases
